Again With the Win8 “Developer Preview” Thingy

[UPDATE:be sure to check out a mini-micro-factoid mentioned at the end of this post in a note ;-)]

So, I decided a VM wouldn’t offer a fair look at the thing and took a spare, relatively small as these things go nowadays, drive and popped the developer preview onto a 64-bit machine with 4GB of RAM–a fair MOR machine.

I’ll tell you up front that I was right: I hate the “You’re too stupid to use a computer” interface on the “Start Page”.

Cuomo made robocalls for Davy Weprin andthe New York Slimes was effusive in its endorsement, the Roman Catholic, pro-life candidate running in a majority Jewish liberal (~75% Dhimmicrappic) district pasted the Dhimmicrappic candidate… by running against Obama. Yep. That was just about the sum total of Bob Turner’s platform: running against The Zero.

But yeh, Stewart (apparently the “news” source for a majority of 20-somethings, from indications “on the street” as it were) and others are all trying to spin the thing to provide cover for The Zero. And it will work… to convince idiots.
